CC0 1.0 Universal

Statement of Purpose

The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer exclusive Copyright and
Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an
"owner") of an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").

Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the purpose of
contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works ("Commons") that the
public can reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify,
incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further production of
creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their
Work in part through the use and efforts of others.

For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of additional
consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the
extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge
of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal effect
of CC0 on those rights.

1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be protected by copyright
   and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related Rights"). Copyright and Related
   Rights include, but are not limited to, the following:

   i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, and translate a
      Work;
   ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
   iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness depicted in a
        Work;
   iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, subject to the
       limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
   v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in a Work;
   vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament
       and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, and under any
       national implementation thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
       directive); and
   vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world based on
        applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.

2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of, applicable law,
   Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons,
   and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
   of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes
   of action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration
   provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current
   or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including
   without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer
   makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of
   Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
   revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to
   disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express
   Statement of Purpose.

3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally invalid
   or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent
   permitted taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
   extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free,
   non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to
   exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide,
   (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
   extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for
   any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
   purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was applied
   by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid
   or ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not
   invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
   will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or
   (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case
   contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.

4. Limitations and Disclaimers.

   a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed
      or otherwise affected by this document.
   b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties of any kind
      concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including without limitation
      warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non infringement, or
      the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors,
      whether or not discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
   c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons that may apply to the
      Work or any use thereof, including without limitation any person's Copyright and Related
      Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
      consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work.
   d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a party to this document
      and has no duty or obligation with respect to this CC0 or use of the Work.
